"Wow. My partner picked out this location for lunch. Really wonderful French bistro setting in Menlo Park. Beautifully decorated for the holidays. She had the Beef Bourguignon and I had the Raclette Burger with Maple Glazed Pork Belly. The Beef Bourguignon was delicious and flavorful. I found the pork belly addition to the burger to be more than I was looking for so I proceeded without that. The burger was awesome and cooked exactly how I asked. The side of fries were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Just the way I like them. Service was attentive without being intrusive. Would highly recommend."

"Today is my old dad's birthday and we visited the restaurant. I liked everything very much: silence, non-intrusion of the waiters, atmosphere and, of course, food. Again, as if she visited the French province. Crispy toasted bread and snails - I love these sensations. second visit to the restaurant and again successful!"

"We ate lunch here today and the wine & food was delicious! We sat outside and the weather was nice. Had Bordeaux wine with French onion soup, steak tartare and steak frites. Our server Cesar was excellent and we had a few good laughs."

"First time here I was looking for fresh oysters. I was disappointed with their oyster as they came dry and still attached to the adductor muscle! The beef Bourguignon was okay it needed more seasoning. The heirloom salad was delicious and so was the salad verte, fried calamari was such a small portion! Service was great!"

"The Left Bank Menlo Park is a nice restaurant visit if you're looking for decent French fare in a casual atmosphere. I'll be honest - the food and service at this location can be inconsistent. Some nights the service and food are absolutely on point and other nights the service can be a bit slow (even on nights that are not all that busy) and the food a bit overseasoned. HOWEVER, more often than not, the service and food is pretty good and I've never experienced either bad enough to want to not go back. It's just a pleasant "casual night out" type of restaurant that satisfies our craving for French cuisine without breaking the budget."
